Besides the obvious size difference against the ASUS Eee PC 901, the MSI Wind NB U100 also features a larger screen size at 10.2-inches, a much larger keyboard that's similar in size to the HP Mini-Note PC. The Wind NB U100 does sport a cleaner look and the matte surface was definitely less susceptive to smudges compared to the Eee PC 901. We were however, quite disappointed with the tiny square surface area of the trackpad, though the response was adequate.

A very clean layout is what awaits you when you open up the Wind NB U100.

Like the Eee PC 901, the Wind NB U100 also features a 1.3-megapixel webcam for all your video conferencing needs.

The trackpad was small and tiny but responsive enough for your needs. We would have loved to have more surface area for finger swiping and some multi-touch features like those found on the Eee PC 901.

We brought out the HP 2133 Mini-Note PC for a quick comparison of the keyboard size and found that the buttons were of the same size, though the Mini-Note buttons had more surface area and had a better layout compared to the Wind NB U100 (though this can be subjective).
